Case Summary
This 59-year-old patient was diagnosed with breast cancer in the left breast and initially planned to undergo a left mastectomy with implant-based reconstruction, as she previously had cosmetic breast implants. After surgery, positive margins were identified, requiring additional treatment and ultimately leading to bilateral mastectomies. To achieve optimal reconstruction and symmetry, she proceeded with left latissimus dorsi (LD) flap reconstruction with implant placement, along with an implant exchange on the right side to match the reconstructed breast. This approach allowed her to restore breast shape while maintaining balanced, natural-looking results.
